    I thought the bigger issue was the premise. If earth is in a climate apocalypse, and we have extremely advanced technology that lets us bring life to far out planets, then why are we leaving earth? Can’t those same technologies be applied to saving the earth people?

    The whole “we have to go space” feels like manifest destiny and the desperate urge of capitalism to expand.

      I also didn’t like the “I’m going to fuck off and let everyone else die” philosophy of not solving the climate issue at home.
